Wings

Chapter 1

I can't breath properly.

Something is on top of me, crushing me. I try to move and nothing happens. Panic builds up inside me and starts to wash over me.

There's a distant child's cry, well more of a wailing noise. I try to sit up to look around me but I'm unable to move. The wail shatters me, it won't stop. I don't know how much time passes and the wail starts to get quieter, I can hear it but faintly. I need to help this child but I can't even get up. Terror creeps up on me. I have no idea what has happened here, I have no memory, its like my mind has been wiped clean.

'H..help.' I mutter, I don't recognise the voice that comes out my mouth. It's safe to say no one has heard me. All I can feel in pain, pain and pain. I'm sure every bone in my body is broken. Blood is running down my face and stinging my eye. I try to fight the darkness coming over my eyes. I fight and fight and fight but I lose and see black.

When I start for break away from the darkness, I don't hear anything anymore, I hear no children crying. What if someone has saved them and had not seen me or worse what if they are dead. I try to work out how I got here and what has happened. I have no memories. No memories what so ever, I don't understand. Who am I? I have accepted that I will die here and just hope that the blackness will take me again.

'Is anyone out there?' Someone shouts from a distance.

I try to get myself to shout but no sound comes out, just a noise. A quiet god forsaken noise. Maybe if I can get my arm to move I can create attention that way. My arm disagrees with my movement and I howl in disagreement. The pain shoots up my arm into my shoulder. A howl which sounds very wolf like knifes through the silence. I realise that the howl was me.

'Shout again!' The familiar voice shouts. Another animal sounds comes out of my mouth, I feel I should be embarrassed but I'm in too much pain to care.

'I found her. Look she's under there.' is the last thing I hear before the darkness swallows me again, this time I welcome it.
